Metro - Future Imperfect

1980 Housekeeping
Metro
Future Imperfect
Genre: Gary Numan if he’s less depressed and on a lot more cocaine. Or is Sparks wrote songs that weren’t just a chorus based on a title.
3.75 out of 5
Highlights:
The Promise
America in My Head
I like it when a band sounds like it’s name. Like a futuristic travel tube (the spacey kind like the ones in Space:1999) the music has a trajectory. It’s consumed with New Wave Purpose. But, we also get to hear the impact of the embrace of digital instruments, the ones that tons of bands will follow into the stratosphere of success and legacy. This is somewhere between The Cars and A Flock of Seagulls but it’s less interested in mining simple retro rock formulas ala the former and desperate to move the medium forward toward the latter.
